A 22-year-old Okada rider who allegedly poisoned his girlfriend at Koransang in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region is being sought by the police in Suhum.
According to eyewitnesses, the Okada rider, who's identity has only been revealed as Akooko, was dating Matilda Dankwa, 17, who died in the accident and had just graduated from junior high school (JHS).
The deceased who became pregnant for the Okada rider allegedly refused to abort the child when the suspect asked her to, according to the local assemblyman.
When the suspect came for the deceased on his motorcycle on Monday, she was discovered with foam seeping from her mouth, which is thought to be the result of poisoning.
The police have started their inquiries to find the suspect Akooko, who is now on the run, when they arrived at the crime scene to transport the deceased's body to the Suhum government hospital morgue.
Ransford Norvor, an assemblyman from Koransang, who confirmed an incidence to the media, said that "the deceased finished school this year."
The deceased's boyfriend is accused of poisoning her because an eyewitness claimed she was pregnant and refused to have the baby aborted.
